RPA: one of the hottest jobs for the industrial revolution

This new era of work requires a new set of skills. The balance of labor between humans and bots is evolving and redefining existing roles–such as process experts and designers–as well creating new roles such as bot builders, bot supervisors, bot architects, bot insight analysts, and Digital Workforce support.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) ranks as the third fastest growing skill in the U.S. freelance job market.

According to a quarterly survey by Upwork

The RPA market will reach $2.9 billion by 2021.

According to Forrester
